Snow is over - 10 inches fell!

The snow has moved eastward and we ended up with 10 inches of snow. The local schools had a snow day on Friday, so there was lots of wonderful snow for sledding. We were so Blessed that we didn't receive the ice in our small Oklahoma town. We had a bad ice storm several years ago and we were without power for 3 days...it was awful. You don't realize how much you use your electricity until you don't have it!

Hubby has been out shoveling the sidewalk and driveway. He made a trip to McDonalds for lunch and said the main streets were okay...but the side streets were not too good...snow packed and slippery. The snow will be around for several days because the temperatures are to be in the low 30's in the daytime and teens at night...no melting for a few days. I imagine everything will be back to normal by Monday.

Hope everyone has a safe and Blessed weekend.

Snow is still coming down

Wow! We are still having snow and it is really piling up. The weather forecast was right....this time! (I am glad that I am not a weather person...lol!). So very thankful that we didn't receive the ice storm that was supposed to hit us also. Snow is just fine, thank you!

It is supposed to stop snowing by this evening and this is the most our local has received for several years. This is nothing compared to those of you that live in the northern states...but for Oklahoma it is a big event. The kids are loving it!

Hope everyone has a safe and Blessed weekend.

Take Care and God Bless!

Winter weather is returning!

Hi Blog Friends! Winter weather is returning to Oklahoma late this evening and tomorrow. (Today, our high temperatures were in the high 50's!!). We are in a "Winter Storm Warning" and everyone is trying to get ready for the storm. This is unusual for Oklahoma and there is always a whirlwind of activity at the grocery store, gas stations, hardware stores, etc. Our area is to receive 1/4" to 1/2" of ice and then 8-10" of snow on top of that. Hopefully, the weather forecasts will be wrong on both accounts.

Some of the country is equipped for the winter storms, blizzards, etc...but Oklahoma doesn't have the money to spend on heavy duty snow removal equipment, etc. The Department of Transportation does a great job with the snow removal items they have available, however, the financial shortfalls leaves "snow removal equipment" at the bottom of the long lists of areas to fund. Oklahoma is certainly feeling the effects of the economy.

I will update you tomorrow on the ice accumulation/snowfall amounts that we receive. Those of you that live in the northern part of the country will laugh at our small amounts of snow that we receive...but for Oklahoma...it is a big deal!

Take Care and God Bless!
